Default prob with programming Eflite esc


OK heres what Ive done. I had a Blade CP, bought the 3 in 1 and RX and turned it into a Pro. I kept the CP TX because I dont want to fly inverted and such so I dont need the extra channels etc.

I just upgraded to the brushless Eflite motor and ESC. Ive always used Thunderbird ESCs and have 0 exp. with any other brand.
1st Q is what exactally does the ESC brake do and how do you use it??

2nd Ive tried programming the ESC as described in the manual on Horizons site BUT, youre supposed to raise the throttle to full, then plugin the ESC and wait for the beeps. But its not beeping with the throttle raised full. Im guessing its because the 4 in 1 wont arm when it senses the throttle is full.


If anyone has any experience with this Id love some help so I can actually FLY my heli.


I also just bought a Spektrum DX6 so if I cant get the CP TX to program the ESC for me then maybe I can program it through the Spek' .Is that posible??
I would rather be able to program through the CP radio
